Limb Pain, Master of Disguise

It is natural for our bodies to breakdown from time to time as a defense mechanism in response to over exertion or stress. It may be that we decided to run a marathon without sufficient training or push ourselves too hard in the gym or on the tennis court. The discomfort or pain will present in many different ways depending on the severity of injury and restriction to movement.
